Good Trouble (2019–…): Season 2, Episode 4 - Unfiltered - full transcript
Davia's mother comes to town and stirs up old issues; Callie and Malika make some mistakes attempting to help people; Mariana is confronted by the other women on the grievance committee.
I really don't want anybody to know...
about Jacob or that
I was in the hospital.
Will you promise me that if
you ever feel suicidal again,
that you... you'll just come to me.
I haven't exactly
broken up with Jeff yet.
What if you get him to dump you?
Just tell him that you don't
want to move back to Wisconsin.
I'll move to LA.
But you love Fitchburg.
I love you more.
Can I stay with you tonight?
Yeah.
I think we should implement a rule
that supervisors cannot date anyone
who works under them.
Agreed.
_
The app literally doubled the donations!
We only made $10,000, not 20.
- I met my father.
- How'd that go?
We always thought that
he just up and left.
My mom never said
anything good about him.
Is everything okay?
I'm being evicted.
- You ever been in love?
- Once.
His name was Elijah.
I can't get a job
until I've passed the bar.
Which I will hopefully know about soon.
I didn't pass the bar.
We don't do grassroots activism here.
At Legal Aid, we're focused mostly
on providing direct legal services
to the local community.
You wouldn't believe what
that woman has been through.
This is Callie, your
new research assistant.
Cary, Gwen.
Hi, I'm Cary. So nice to meet you.
Hi. Nice to meet you. Welcome.
They're our paralegals.
You'll be working for them
and all the lawyers here.
Will you show Callie around,
give her the lay of the land?
Of course.
You are gorgeous.
Is it okay to say that?
Cary's new. Don't worry.
The only person he wants
to harass around here is...
Right behind you.
Marcus.
- Hey.
- This is Callie.
She's our new research assistant.
Oh, good.
Can you check the LARSO
on this three-day notice?
Uh, this is defective.
It doesn't list the
outstanding rent owed
or where to make payment.
Where did you go to school?
UCSD.
- Legal studies?
- Law.
You're a lawyer?
Yes.
I haven't passed the bar yet.
Well, aren't you a little overqualified
to be a research assistant?
I need a job.
Hm. Well, don't be tempted
to give legal advice.
Oh, don't worry. I will stay in my lane.
All right, back to work.
Okay.
How about one that's a little l-less...
Less?
More... relaxed.
Okay.
- You ready?
- Yeah.
What are you doing?
That is a terrible...
- You're a fierce tiger.
- What are you do...
- Please get up.
- You're a Komodo dragon.
And I need a photographer, not a critic.
Well, I'm not a photographer.
Yeah, but you're tall, and
pictures look better from above.
Come on. Let me see.
I like that one.
Ugh. No.
Who invited the dinner
rolls to the party?
You look like you.
Thanks a lot.
Beautiful. And real.
Well, I appreciate the "beautiful" part,
but no one wants to see anything
on Instagram that's too "real".
Oh, this is the one.
I thought the point of the
whole body-positive movement
was to love your real
body, without filters.
Okay, everyone uses filters.
And I'm not trimming or slimming.
Oh, speaking of which,
my mom's gonna be in town
getting one of her "procedures".
At least she's staying
in a hotel this time.
You do remember my mom?
Yeah.
Why?
No reason, you were just
pretty wasted last time.
Good morning.

Yeah, I know. Caller ID.

The place is so tiny.
I don't know how you do it.
Well, you could always stay in a hotel.
I can't afford a hotel.
Yeah, but you can afford
a brow lift or whatever?
Doctor Levin has a payment plan.
Mm-hmm? And what's the interest rate
on this payment plan?
Less than my credit card.
And I would appreciate
a little support, Davia.
Mom, you're a beautiful woman.
I'm over 40,
and single, with no
one to take care of me.
Time's running out, okay?
What, you want me to
end up old and alone?
Mom, you're not gonna end up alone.
You'll always have me.
I know. And I love you so much.
But I can't have sex with you.
Don't you want to find someone
who loves you for what's inside?
Honey, men aren't
interested in the inside
if what's on the outside
doesn't give them a boner.
I got you something.
For my baby girl.
Mm-hmm.
Do you like it?
- It's beautiful.
- Mm-hmm.
And... expensive.
You're welcome.
Thank you.
Oh, my goodness. You are so pretty.
Oh!
And talented.
Look at that gorgeous face.
Mm.
If you just lost 30 pounds,
you could get any man you want.
Muah.
There she is. Congratulations.
- You did it, girl!
- And she raised $20,000.
- You made us proud.
- Her app is genius.
Thank you, all.
So, are you excited?
We heard Evan was there.
He must be impressed.
I think I'm just gonna
tell Evan what happened
and have him garnish my wages,
so no one needs to know.
Whoa, wait.
You don't have to make up that money.
The Center for Transgender
Veterans is expecting $20,000.
They were expecting half that.
They'll understand.
Yeah, well, what about everyone else?
It's a beta test. Things
are supposed to go wrong.
Okay. No, not on my watch.
I mean, all of those guys
are expecting me to fail.
And Evan stood up to
his board of directors.
I can't let him lose his faith in me.
I don't think you have to worry
about Evan losing faith in you.
Oh, my god. Do you still
think that he's doing
- all of this because...
- No, I didn't say that.
- Well, that's what you're implying.
- No, it's not.
Look, I can't talk about this right now.
I don't have time for this. I have
to go down to the art department,
and then I have a
stupid grievance meeting.
_
_
_
_
_
Miss me?
What's his story?
- Oh, Dennis?
- Yeah.
- He lives at the Coterie.
- Hm. What does he do?
Well, you're looking at it.
He must have a job.
Not that I know of.
But he just moved in,
so I barely know him.
Well, maybe you should get to know him.
He's very attractive.
Yeah, no thanks.
That guy's a loser.
Every man's a loser
until he finds the right woman.
Oh, thank you.
Hey, can you send Dennis
a refill of whatever he's drinking?
- And say it's from Davia.
- Mom, no.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Do it,
do it, do it, do it, do it. Yeah.
Okay, what about his date?
Well, she can get her own drink.
Hmm.
Hey, guys.
Are you and Raj dating?
Is that why you chose Raj to be
on your team instead of a woman?
No. No, I-I chose Raj
because he's an excellent engineer.
People might think they got
passed over because you're dating.
Like me, for instance.
You're the reason that Evan fired Josh.
If any of the guys find out
that you're dating someone
on your team, they're
gonna rip you apart.
All of us. It could undermine
everything we're working for.
As head of the grievance committee,
you either need to break up with Raj
or take him off your team.
I think they're right.
- There you go.
- Thank you.
- Hey, man.
- Hey, man.
I heard you took that 5G workshop.
You wanna grab drinks later so
I can pick your brain about it?
Sure, man.
Hey, man.
Hey.
Uh, can I get a double chai latte?
Coming right up.
Very pleased with the
way the app is going.
Yeah.
Would you mind if we spoke in private?
I need a declaration
to complete this petition for dismissal.
- Good morning.
- I said, "Good morning".
No, you didn't. Good morning.
Would you mind cite-checking
this motion for me?
Sure.
- My declaration?
- Yeah, I'll do it.
What's this?
A vanilla latte. For you.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
I just need that declaration.
He's not in yet. Everything okay?
Yeah.
Callie, this is my father, Joseph.
He's being evicted.
I think because of us.
They can't evict you for making
a complaint about maintenance.
I'm behind on my rent.
I ran into some medical
bills a few months ago.
The landlord was letting me stay
in exchange for doing
odd jobs around the place.
But then he accused me of snitching
about the broken elevator
and gave me 24 hours to get out.
I'm so sorry, Joseph.
But don't worry. I'll get someone
from my office to fix this.
Good morning, Marcus.
- Hey, Marcus.
- Morning.
Uh, Marcus, can I talk to you?
Yes. Make it quick. I have a client.
I wanted to talk to you
about that demand letter.
What demand letter is that?
Uh, the one you told
me to serve on the...
Towers on Western
single residency hotel.
Elevator's been out for weeks,
and management keeps saying
they're gonna fix it and they don't.
I was wondering what can be done.
Well, we would serve a demand letter
saying that they have 48
hours to address the problem.
Otherwise, they're in breach,
and they could lose
their license to operate.
Okay.
I know what to do.
What I don't understand is
how the manager knew Joseph had anything
to do with the demand letter?
I didn't put his name on it.
I think that's on me.
Selina, you okay?
The elevator's still broken.
Yeah, I can't do my shopping.
No man has carried me like this
since my husband carried
me across the threshold.
God rest his rotten heart.
Oh.
Okay.
Alright. I'll go get
your wheelchair, huh?
Just hang tight.
What else could I do?
Here you go.
So, how long has the elevator been out?
A while.
They keep saying they're
gonna fix it, but...
in the meantime, people like Selina
are trapped on their floors.
That's not right. There's
gotta be something they can do.
Well, we'll manage.
Well...
I'd like to see you again sometime.
If it suits you.
- Yeah. I'd, I'd like that, too.
- Yeah.
I'm gonna die soon.
Oh, no. Don't you bet on it, Selina.
You're gonna outlive us all.
Excuse me.
Can I ask when you plan
on fixing the elevator?
Who the hell are you?
You don't live here.
My father does.
And the tenants who can't use the stairs
are stuck on their floors.
It's none of your business.
Then I'll take it to someone
whose business it is.
You served a demand letter?
That's what you said we do...
We, as in one of the licensed lawyers.
I guess I misunderstood.
Is that it?
No. Um,
there's a problem.
The tenant on whose
behalf I served the letter
is being evicted in retaliation.
They can't do that.
Well, he's behind on rent.
And he's the father of a friend of mine,
so I feel like this is sort of my fault.
Yeah. Ya think?
Is there something we...
you can do to help him?
Maybe. But I can't do anything
without looping in Teresa.
And if I do that, your first
week here might be your last.
So, I made a mistake.
There was a... glitch
- in the beta test...
- Raj told me.
What exactly did he tell you?
That it doubled the amount of
donations, and it was his fault.
No, i-it was my fault.
I-it was in the original code.
He was just trying to fix it on the fly.
He asked me to garnish his
wages to make up the extra money.
That's what I was gonna ask you to do,
t-to my wages.
I'm the team leader.
It's my responsibility.
I'm the company leader.
The ultimate responsibility is mine.
So, I will make up the $10,000.
No, I... I can't let you do that.
I'm rich, Mariana. $10,000
to me is like $10 to you.
Uh, I mean... I'm assuming.
Until I win the lottery.
The odds of you winning the
lottery are practically nonexistent.
Well, what about your
board of directors?
I'm happy to tell them the
app was a complete success.
Because otherwise, it, it was.
Thank you.
You're an amazing boss.
Collaborator.
There are no bosses here.
I am so sorry.
I just wanted to help.
Can I ask how much you owe?
Around $800.
I can loan you the money.
I'm not taking money from my daughter.
I didn't mean to make
a thing out of this.
I just needed to know what happened.
Yeah, but this is my fault.
Please, let me make it right.
No.
I wasn't in your life all these years.
Didn't want to bring any trouble
on you or your mom or your brother.
You were probably better off not
coming to see me in the first place.
Thanks for the tea.
Can I talk to you for a moment?
So, not to rub it in your face,
but the photo that I
chose for my Insta got
over a thousand likes so far.
Congratulations.
What's going on there?
Uh, just something to do.
Well, I have something for you to do.
Do you want to go to
dinner with me and my mom?
Tell ya, you, you remind me of the boys
I used to date in high school.
Oh, yeah, speaking of high school,
what grade is Misty in?
Says the person out on a
Saturday night with her mother.
Snap.
Who says "snap"?
You two, get a room already.
You all good here?
We'll do one more round, on me.
We have that party to go to.
Ooh, was there gonna be a bouncy house?
One more drink. Come on.
I'm going. You can meet me there...
or not.
- Uhh...
- Yikes.
- Rude.
- Not good.
See? That is the problem
with dating younger women.
They're all about the drama.
Uh, since he's buying,
I'm gonna have a margarita
with your most expensive tequila.
Okay, make it a skinny.
You should've seen the
body my baby used to have.
Oh, when I was anorexic?
No. Before that, Davia.
Jeez. Talk about drama.
I mean, as long as you're
not starving yourself,
you can never be too rich or too thin.
Am I right?
Yeah, I'm not really up for
being around people right now.
I know. I told her you wouldn't come.
Plus, we're meeting early
because of her surgery
so that's why I'm eating now.
You're not gonna eat with her?
Well, I'll get, like, a little salad.
But otherwise, I have
to endure my mother's
well-meaning remarks
about how I could get a man
if I just wasn't so fat.
That's for being
chivalrous as my boyfriend.
And that's for going behind
my back as team leader.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
Evan's gonna cover the
1OK out of his own pocket.
Seriously?
Yeah. Because, ultimately,
it's his responsibility.
According to him.
And he's rich. Also according to him.
And I swear, if you read into this
- in any way, I will...
- What?
Fire me?
That's him.
I have a work order to
fix the elevator, okay?
I'm representing Joseph Turner.
Did you give him a 30-day
written notice of eviction?
Come on. He's 60 days
past due on his rent.
I don't care if he's 60 years past due.
That's the law.
And it's illegal for
a landlord to retaliate
against a tenant who has exercised
his legal right to complain
about a violation of safety laws.
Like failure to repair an elevator.
So, if you try to throw Mr. Turner out
before the 30 days, we'll sue.
Yeah, but if he doesn't pay before then,
he's outta here.
What's this?
A new demand order.
This one's signed by a judge.
You have 48 hours to repair the elevator
or you'll lose your license
to operate the facility.
We bought your friend's
father some time,
but if he doesn't pay,
he'll be out on the street.
Thank you so much. I'm
so grateful for your help.
Don't be grateful. Just don't screw up.
You have a law degree, Callie.
I'm assuming you actually earned it.
So, think next time.
So, is the chicken cooked
with olive oil or butter?
You know what? Just
bring me a kale salad.
And then another vodka rocks.
I'll just have the kale salad, too.
Are you allowed to drink
before you have major surgery?
I'm getting my eyes done, Davia.
It's not major surgery.
So... Jeff left his wife.
- How do you know about that?
- It's the talk of Fitchburg.
Mainly because Lily's mom is
telling anyone who'll listen
that Jeff is a monster.
Well, he's not a monster.
No judgment here.
I mean, you've been in love
with that boy since high school.
And clearly, he loves you, too,
for what's on the inside, like you said.
Do you know how rare that is?
And you, you found the one.
Well, um, actually, he's...
not... the one.
What do you mean?
I'm not in love with Jeff anymore.
Does he know this?
No. Not yet.
He's, he's just having
such a hard time, you know,
with Lily and then his family.
Everybody's mad at him.
Davia, you better think
long and hard about this.
You found a good man who wants you.
And take it from me, the
pickings are slim out there,
even for the size twos of the world.
Don't do something you're
gonna regret in ten years,
when you're still single
and your biological clock is ticking.
That's all I'm saying.
Okay, 'kay, 'kay. Come, come, come.
Davia, chin up and out.
Ooh! This is gonna be so cute
on my Insta story, Twitter.
- Look at Misty. She is mad at me.
- Oh, yeah, she is.
See, I told you.
Younger women are all about the drama.
- Last call?
- Mm. Thank God. Let's bounce.
Oh, one more drink, with
the woman who birthed you.
She was nine pounds, ten ounces.
And she just tore me
to shreds down there.
Wow.
But don't worry. I'm tight
as a drum now.
Yeah. Mom, no one's worried
about your vagina. Let's go.
Oh, come on. I never
get to have any fun.
Will you stay and have
one last drink with me?
- Sure. Why not?
- Great.
Well, you two senior
citizens can have fun.
I'm going home and going to bed.
Will you make sure
that they get back okay?
Yeah. No problem.
- Thank you.
- I love you.
Ooh, okay. So...
tell me all about you.
I want to know everything.
Hey.
Got a minute?
'Bout all I got these days.
Look, I understand,
not wanting to take
your daughter's money.
But there's no reason why you
can't take a loan from me.
No, no. I can't do that.
This is killing Malika that
she put you in this situation
and she can't fix it.
Uh, you said you haven't
been there for her for years.
Well, if you want to
be there for her now,
you'll take this money,
and you'll lift the burden off of her.
I know, it's...
I'm paying you back every cent.
Yeah, you damn right you are.
And can you, uh...
keep this between us?
For sure.
Take care, man.
This isn't a convenient way
to get rid of me after I messed up?
No.
I hate this. It's just...
the rule of team leaders
not being able to date people under them
mostly protects women against
the Joshes of the world.
And I can't be selfish.
Even though I really want to be.
I know.
So, what are we gonna tell people
is the reason I'm no
longer on your team?
Well, it's no one's business.
People are gonna talk.
Yeah, well, people are really gonna talk
if they find out we're dating.
Especially Alex and Sam.
I mean, we could tell them.
No. No, we can't. You're right.
And you would get the worst of it.
I'm gonna miss working with you so much.
Especially the late nights in my office.
I'm available for late nights anytime.
And hey, I don't want
you to worry about Evan.
If he ever crossed a line,
which he hasn't and he won't,
trust that I would
shoot it down right away.
I do.
So, I saw your latest Insta post.
Oh! It got over a thousand likes.
Yeah. Okay, I have a question.
Are these body-positive people
really proud of their plus-size selves,
or are they just, you know, pretending
to be to justify overeating
and, you know, just being unhealthy?
We're really proud of our bodies, Mom.
And just because you're plus-size
doesn't mean you're not healthy.
Well, I don't buy that.
- Dennis!
- Hi.
You said he wasn't coming.
Sorry. I'm late.
Oh, good. Come sit.
Let's get you a drink.
Oh, actually, I'm not really
drinking at the moment.
Oh, that's no fun.
- One drink, come on.
- Mom.
What?
He said he's not drinking.
Yeah. I am, however, starving.
Thank you very much.
Ooh, all right.
One of each small plate for the table,
and two orders of those
fried artichokes you love.
Bonnie? Do not tell me
you're just having a salad.
Well, I'm watching my figure.
Well, you're too skinny, if you ask me.
And let's have some of those
sweet potato fries, too.
Thank you.
Hey, y'all.
Oh, hey. Uh, you remember my mother?
- I sure do.
- Hi.
But who's this guy?
Where you been?
Around.
Mm.
Well, I'll have the waiter bring out
an order of those
fried artichokes on me.
I know how much you love them.
Mm.
Hey.
Hey.
How'd it go?
He took the money.
I don't feel great
telling him it was mine,
although it could've been.
No.
You're not putting your
money on the line for my dad.
What if he can't pay you back?
Or what if he needs
money again next month?
Now, I know your savings took
a hit with that eight hundred.
But are you gonna
feel obligated to help?
No, 'cause next month won't be my fault.
Okay.
Just be careful.
He is a grown-ass man.
He has been taking care of himself
long before you were in the picture.
I understand you want a
relationship with him, but...
Yeah, but he doesn't want one with me.
So, don't worry.
Besides, I gotta get right with Dom.
Probably can't do that
with our dad in the picture.
I'm just saying.
If he comes back around,
don't go try fixing his life.
Let him be there for you
and not the other way around.
Okay.
I'm good.
You are still in the doghouse
for not following me back on Instagram.
Oh, I'm not really on
social media these days.
No, no, no. I'm good. I'm good.
Come on, you love these.
Oh. Bonnie?
Help me out with these.
Oh, okay.
Mmm. It's very, very fried.
And delicious.
Mm-hmm.
I love a woman who's not afraid to eat.
Oh, Davia and I were just discussing
the whole body-positive thing.
What do you make of it?
I think it's great to see anyone
proud of the skin they're in.
Oh. But would you ever date a woman
who was plus-size?
Sure.
Have you ever dated anyone
who was over, say, a size two?
I don't really know women's sizes.
Okay, a woman who
couldn't fit in your jeans?
See?
People say they'd do a
lot of things in theory,
but it's what they do in practice
that tells the real truth.
I have to use the restroom.
You never called me either, Dennis.
You know, I was really messed up.
I don't remember
anything from that night.
Well, that's a shame.
'Cause maybe if you did,
you wouldn't be chasing
these little girls around.
You'd remember what it's
like to be with a real woman.
And I can...
always remind you.
I'm at the McCadden Hotel.
Room 605.
Is everything okay?
Yeah. Why wouldn't it be?
Davia.
Go away!
- I said, "Go away".
- Well, if you really wanted me to go away,
- you would've locked the door.
- Oh, don't flatter yourself.
I never lock my door.
I'll go away,
if you tell me who you're
mad at. Me or your mom?
Both. I told you I don't
eat in front of my mother.
And that's messed up. Uh,
you, you should be yourself.
That is not for you to decide.
Or to judge.
Especially when you go around hiding
who you are all the time.
You don't get to tell
me to keep your secrets
and then force me into
some sort of confrontation
with my mother.
I mean, look at me, Dennis.
She knows I actually eat.
I don't want to be
myself around my mother
because it hurts.
I'm sorry.
It's just, I care about you,
and she's got no right to judge.
Oh.
You think I don't know that?
You think I, I don't
wish that she could just...
see me...
and not how I look or what I eat?
She's the most insecure,
self-loathing person I've ever known,
and she's projected
that on me my whole life.
Which is why I became anorexic.
And by the way, you can be too skinny.
Okay, I was 90 pounds.
I had to go into a hospital,
get fed with a tube.
I don't want to tell my mom
what I really think about her,
'cause it will only hurt her.
I don't want to make her feel
how she makes me feel.
Oh, hey.
I am sorry.
I know.
It's okay.
You know, she's bound to overstep again,
not to mention she's entitled.
She's young and
determined to change the world,
the way we all were out of law school.
We could use some wide-eyed
energy around here.
There's a difference between
passion and impertinence.
Jeez, you've got it in for her.
No, I have more cases than I can handle,
and I don't have time to rein in the ego
of a young lawyer who's
got something to prove
because she failed the bar.
Don't worry. She's not your problem.
I'll mentor her.
Like you mentored me?
Let's not go there.
Hey, Evan.
Mariana.
Thanks again for everything.
Of course.
So, I was wondering if you would
like to get a drink with me sometime.
To... talk next steps on the app.
Yeah, sure.
When?
How about now?
Now?
Unless you have plans.
Uh, yeah. Now is great.
Hello?
Hey, hey.
Uh...
I just wanted to let you know, um,
I worked my situation out here. So...
you don't need to worry.
Okay. That's good.
And, um...
look, I'm...
I'm sorry for what I said about...
you coming over and looking me up.
I know it's too late to
be your father, but...
I'd like to be a friend.
This is our dad.
- Hey, man.
- So, this is how you got my back?
- Hey, wait, son.
- Hey, now.
I am not your son.
Yeah, I could always use another friend.
Okay, that's great.

about Jacob or that
I was in the hospital.
Will you promise me that if
you ever feel suicidal again,
that you... you'll just come to me.
I haven't exactly
broken up with Jeff yet.
What if you get him to dump you?
Just tell him that you don't
want to move back to Wisconsin.
I'll move to LA.
But you love Fitchburg.
I love you more.
Can I stay with you tonight?
Yeah.
I think we should implement a rule
that supervisors cannot date anyone
who works under them.
Agreed.

The app literally doubled the donations!
We only made $10,000, not 20.
- I met my father.
- How'd that go?
We always thought that
he just up and left.
My mom never said
anything good about him.
Is everything okay?
I'm being evicted.
- You ever been in love?
- Once.
His name was Elijah.
I can't get a job
until I've passed the bar.
Which I will hopefully know about soon.
I didn't pass the bar.
We don't do grassroots activism here.
At Legal Aid, we're focused mostly
on providing direct legal services
to the local community.
You wouldn't believe what
that woman has been through.
This is Callie, your
new research assistant.
Cary, Gwen.
Hi, I'm Cary. So nice to meet you.
Hi. Nice to meet you. Welcome.
They're our paralegals.
You'll be working for them
and all the lawyers here.
Will you show Callie around,
give her the lay of the land?
Of course.
You are gorgeous.
Is it okay to say that?
Cary's new. Don't worry.
The only person he wants
to harass around here is...
Right behind you.
Marcus.
- Hey.
- This is Callie.
She's our new research assistant.
Oh, good.
Can you check the LARSO
on this three-day notice?
Uh, this is defective.
It doesn't list the
outstanding rent owed
or where to make payment.
Where did you go to school?
UCSD.
- Legal studies?
- Law.
You're a lawyer?
Yes.
I haven't passed the bar yet.
Well, aren't you a little overqualified
to be a research assistant?
I need a job.
Hm. Well, don't be tempted
to give legal advice.
Oh, don't worry. I will stay in my lane.
All right, back to work.
Okay.
How about one that's a little l-less...
Less?
More... relaxed.
Okay.
- You ready?
- Yeah.
What are you doing?
That is a terrible...
- You're a fierce tiger.
- What are you do...
- Please get up.
- You're a Komodo dragon.
And I need a photographer, not a critic.
Well, I'm not a photographer.
Yeah, but you're tall, and
pictures look better from above.
Come on. Let me see.
I like that one.
Ugh. No.
Who invited the dinner
rolls to the party?
You look like you.
Thanks a lot.
Beautiful. And real.
Well, I appreciate the "beautiful" part,
but no one wants to see anything
on Instagram that's too "real".
Oh, this is the one.
I thought the point of the
whole body-positive movement
was to love your real
body, without filters.
Okay, everyone uses filters.
And I'm not trimming or slimming.
Oh, speaking of which,
my mom's gonna be in town
getting one of her "procedures".
At least she's staying
in a hotel this time.
You do remember my mom?
Yeah.
Why?
No reason, you were just
pretty wasted last time.
Good morning.

Yeah, I know. Caller ID.

The place is so tiny.
I don't know how you do it.
Well, you could always stay in a hotel.
I can't afford a hotel.
Yeah, but you can afford
a brow lift or whatever?
Doctor Levin has a payment plan.
Mm-hmm? And what's the interest rate
on this payment plan?
Less than my credit card.
And I would appreciate
a little support, Davia.
Mom, you're a beautiful woman.
I'm over 40,
and single, with no
one to take care of me.
Time's running out, okay?
What, you want me to
end up old and alone?
Mom, you're not gonna end up alone.
You'll always have me.
I know. And I love you so much.
But I can't have sex with you.
Don't you want to find someone
who loves you for what's inside?
Honey, men aren't
interested in the inside
if what's on the outside
doesn't give them a boner.
I got you something.
For my baby girl.
Mm-hmm.
Do you like it?
- It's beautiful.
- Mm-hmm.
And... expensive.
You're welcome.
Thank you.
Oh, my goodness. You are so pretty.
Oh!
And talented.
Look at that gorgeous face.
Mm.
If you just lost 30 pounds,
you could get any man you want.
Muah.
There she is. Congratulations.
- You did it, girl!
- And she raised $20,000.
- You made us proud.
- Her app is genius.
Thank you, all.
So, are you excited?
We heard Evan was there.
He must be impressed.
I think I'm just gonna
tell Evan what happened
and have him garnish my wages,
so no one needs to know.
Whoa, wait.
You don't have to make up that money.
The Center for Transgender
Veterans is expecting $20,000.
They were expecting half that.
They'll understand.
Yeah, well, what about everyone else?
It's a beta test. Things
are supposed to go wrong.
Okay. No, not on my watch.
I mean, all of those guys
are expecting me to fail.
And Evan stood up to
his board of directors.
I can't let him lose his faith in me.
I don't think you have to worry
about Evan losing faith in you.
Oh, my god. Do you still
think that he's doing
- all of this because...
- No, I didn't say that.
- Well, that's what you're implying.
- No, it's not.
Look, I can't talk about this right now.
I don't have time for this. I have
to go down to the art department,
and then I have a
stupid grievance meeting.
_
_
_
_
_
Miss me?
What's his story?
- Oh, Dennis?
- Yeah.
- He lives at the Coterie.
- Hm. What does he do?
Well, you're looking at it.
He must have a job.
Not that I know of.
But he just moved in,
so I barely know him.
Well, maybe you should get to know him.
He's very attractive.
Yeah, no thanks.
That guy's a loser.
Every man's a loser
until he finds the right woman.
Oh, thank you.
Hey, can you send Dennis
a refill of whatever he's drinking?
- And say it's from Davia.
- Mom, no.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Do it,
do it, do it, do it, do it. Yeah.
Okay, what about his date?
Well, she can get her own drink.
Hmm.
Hey, guys.
Are you and Raj dating?
Is that why you chose Raj to be
on your team instead of a woman?
No. No, I-I chose Raj
because he's an excellent engineer.
People might think they got
passed over because you're dating.
Like me, for instance.
You're the reason that Evan fired Josh.
If any of the guys find out
that you're dating someone
on your team, they're
gonna rip you apart.
All of us. It could undermine
everything we're working for.
As head of the grievance committee,
you either need to break up with Raj
or take him off your team.
I think they're right.
- There you go.
- Thank you.
- Hey, man.
- Hey, man.
I heard you took that 5G workshop.
You wanna grab drinks later so
I can pick your brain about it?
Sure, man.
Hey, man.
Hey.
Uh, can I get a double chai latte?
Coming right up.
Very pleased with the
way the app is going.
Yeah.
Would you mind if we spoke in private?
I need a declaration
to complete this petition for dismissal.
- Good morning.
- I said, "Good morning".
No, you didn't. Good morning.
Would you mind cite-checking
this motion for me?
Sure.
- My declaration?
- Yeah, I'll do it.
What's this?
A vanilla latte. For you.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
I just need that declaration.
He's not in yet. Everything okay?
Yeah.
Callie, this is my father, Joseph.
He's being evicted.
I think because of us.
They can't evict you for making
a complaint about maintenance.
I'm behind on my rent.
I ran into some medical
bills a few months ago.
The landlord was letting me stay
in exchange for doing
odd jobs around the place.
But then he accused me of snitching
about the broken elevator
and gave me 24 hours to get out.
I'm so sorry, Joseph.
But don't worry. I'll get someone
from my office to fix this.
Good morning, Marcus.
- Hey, Marcus.
- Morning.
Uh, Marcus, can I talk to you?
Yes. Make it quick. I have a client.
I wanted to talk to you
about that demand letter.
What demand letter is that?
Uh, the one you told
me to serve on the...
Towers on Western
single residency hotel.
Elevator's been out for weeks,
and management keeps saying
they're gonna fix it and they don't.
I was wondering what can be done.
Well, we would serve a demand letter
saying that they have 48
hours to address the problem.
Otherwise, they're in breach,
and they could lose
their license to operate.
Okay.
I know what to do.
What I don't understand is
how the manager knew Joseph had anything
to do with the demand letter?
I didn't put his name on it.
I think that's on me.
Selina, you okay?
The elevator's still broken.
Yeah, I can't do my shopping.
No man has carried me like this
since my husband carried
me across the threshold.
God rest his rotten heart.
Oh.
Okay.
Alright. I'll go get
your wheelchair, huh?
Just hang tight.
What else could I do?
Here you go.
So, how long has the elevator been out?
A while.
They keep saying they're
gonna fix it, but...
in the meantime, people like Selina
are trapped on their floors.
That's not right. There's
gotta be something they can do.
Well, we'll manage.
Well...
I'd like to see you again sometime.
If it suits you.
- Yeah. I'd, I'd like that, too.
- Yeah.
I'm gonna die soon.
Oh, no. Don't you bet on it, Selina.
You're gonna outlive us all.
Excuse me.
Can I ask when you plan
on fixing the elevator?
Who the hell are you?
You don't live here.
My father does.
And the tenants who can't use the stairs
are stuck on their floors.
It's none of your business.
Then I'll take it to someone
whose business it is.
You served a demand letter?
That's what you said we do...
We, as in one of the licensed lawyers.
I guess I misunderstood.
Is that it?
No. Um,
there's a problem.
The tenant on whose
behalf I served the letter
is being evicted in retaliation.
They can't do that.
Well, he's behind on rent.
And he's the father of a friend of mine,
so I feel like this is sort of my fault.
Yeah. Ya think?
Is there something we...
you can do to help him?
Maybe. But I can't do anything
without looping in Teresa.
And if I do that, your first
week here might be your last.
So, I made a mistake.
There was a... glitch
- in the beta test...
- Raj told me.
What exactly did he tell you?
That it doubled the amount of
donations, and it was his fault.
No, i-it was my fault.
I-it was in the original code.
He was just trying to fix it on the fly.
He asked me to garnish his
wages to make up the extra money.
That's what I was gonna ask you to do,
t-to my wages.
I'm the team leader.
It's my responsibility.
I'm the company leader.
The ultimate responsibility is mine.
So, I will make up the $10,000.
No, I... I can't let you do that.
I'm rich, Mariana. $10,000
to me is like $10 to you.
Uh, I mean... I'm assuming.
Until I win the lottery.
The odds of you winning the
lottery are practically nonexistent.
Well, what about your
board of directors?
I'm happy to tell them the
app was a complete success.
Because otherwise, it, it was.
Thank you.
You're an amazing boss.
Collaborator.
There are no bosses here.
I am so sorry.
I just wanted to help.
Can I ask how much you owe?
Around $800.
I can loan you the money.
I'm not taking money from my daughter.
I didn't mean to make
a thing out of this.
I just needed to know what happened.
Yeah, but this is my fault.
Please, let me make it right.
No.
I wasn't in your life all these years.
Didn't want to bring any trouble
on you or your mom or your brother.
You were probably better off not
coming to see me in the first place.
Thanks for the tea.
Can I talk to you for a moment?
So, not to rub it in your face,
but the photo that I
chose for my Insta got
over a thousand likes so far.
Congratulations.
What's going on there?
Uh, just something to do.
Well, I have something for you to do.
Do you want to go to
dinner with me and my mom?
Tell ya, you, you remind me of the boys
I used to date in high school.
Oh, yeah, speaking of high school,
what grade is Misty in?
Says the person out on a
Saturday night with her mother.
Snap.
Who says "snap"?
You two, get a room already.
You all good here?
We'll do one more round, on me.
We have that party to go to.
Ooh, was there gonna be a bouncy house?
One more drink. Come on.
I'm going. You can meet me there...
or not.
- Uhh...
- Yikes.
- Rude.
- Not good.
See? That is the problem
with dating younger women.
They're all about the drama.
Uh, since he's buying,
I'm gonna have a margarita
with your most expensive tequila.
Okay, make it a skinny.
You should've seen the
body my baby used to have.
Oh, when I was anorexic?
No. Before that, Davia.
Jeez. Talk about drama.
I mean, as long as you're
not starving yourself,
you can never be too rich or too thin.
Am I right?
Yeah, I'm not really up for
being around people right now.
I know. I told her you wouldn't come.
Plus, we're meeting early
because of her surgery
so that's why I'm eating now.
You're not gonna eat with her?
Well, I'll get, like, a little salad.
But otherwise, I have
to endure my mother's
well-meaning remarks
about how I could get a man
if I just wasn't so fat.
That's for being
chivalrous as my boyfriend.
And that's for going behind
my back as team leader.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
Evan's gonna cover the
1OK out of his own pocket.
Seriously?
Yeah. Because, ultimately,
it's his responsibility.
According to him.
And he's rich. Also according to him.
And I swear, if you read into this
- in any way, I will...
- What?
Fire me?
That's him.
I have a work order to
fix the elevator, okay?
I'm representing Joseph Turner.
Did you give him a 30-day
written notice of eviction?
Come on. He's 60 days
past due on his rent.
I don't care if he's 60 years past due.
That's the law.
And it's illegal for
a landlord to retaliate
against a tenant who has exercised
his legal right to complain
about a violation of safety laws.
Like failure to repair an elevator.
So, if you try to throw Mr. Turner out
before the 30 days, we'll sue.
Yeah, but if he doesn't pay before then,
he's outta here.
What's this?
A new demand order.
This one's signed by a judge.
You have 48 hours to repair the elevator
or you'll lose your license
to operate the facility.
We bought your friend's
father some time,
but if he doesn't pay,
he'll be out on the street.
Thank you so much. I'm
so grateful for your help.
Don't be grateful. Just don't screw up.
You have a law degree, Callie.
I'm assuming you actually earned it.
So, think next time.
So, is the chicken cooked
with olive oil or butter?
You know what? Just
bring me a kale salad.
And then another vodka rocks.
I'll just have the kale salad, too.
Are you allowed to drink
before you have major surgery?
I'm getting my eyes done, Davia.
It's not major surgery.
So... Jeff left his wife.
- How do you know about that?
- It's the talk of Fitchburg.
Mainly because Lily's mom is
telling anyone who'll listen
that Jeff is a monster.
Well, he's not a monster.
No judgment here.
I mean, you've been in love
with that boy since high school.
And clearly, he loves you, too,
for what's on the inside, like you said.
Do you know how rare that is?
And you, you found the one.
Well, um, actually, he's...
not... the one.
What do you mean?
I'm not in love with Jeff anymore.
Does he know this?
No. Not yet.
He's, he's just having
such a hard time, you know,
with Lily and then his family.
Everybody's mad at him.
Davia, you better think
long and hard about this.
You found a good man who wants you.
And take it from me, the
pickings are slim out there,
even for the size twos of the world.
Don't do something you're
gonna regret in ten years,
when you're still single
and your biological clock is ticking.
That's all I'm saying.
Okay, 'kay, 'kay. Come, come, come.
Davia, chin up and out.
Ooh! This is gonna be so cute
on my Insta story, Twitter.
- Look at Misty. She is mad at me.
- Oh, yeah, she is.
See, I told you.
Younger women are all about the drama.
- Last call?
- Mm. Thank God. Let's bounce.
Oh, one more drink, with
the woman who birthed you.
She was nine pounds, ten ounces.
And she just tore me
to shreds down there.
Wow.
But don't worry. I'm tight
as a drum now.
Yeah. Mom, no one's worried
about your vagina. Let's go.
Oh, come on. I never
get to have any fun.
Will you stay and have
one last drink with me?
- Sure. Why not?
- Great.
Well, you two senior
citizens can have fun.
I'm going home and going to bed.
Will you make sure
that they get back okay?
Yeah. No problem.
- Thank you.
- I love you.
Ooh, okay. So...
tell me all about you.
I want to know everything.
Hey.
Got a minute?
'Bout all I got these days.
Look, I understand,
not wanting to take
your daughter's money.
But there's no reason why you
can't take a loan from me.
No, no. I can't do that.
This is killing Malika that
she put you in this situation
and she can't fix it.
Uh, you said you haven't
been there for her for years.
Well, if you want to
be there for her now,
you'll take this money,
and you'll lift the burden off of her.
I know, it's...
I'm paying you back every cent.
Yeah, you damn right you are.
And can you, uh...
keep this between us?
For sure.
Take care, man.
This isn't a convenient way
to get rid of me after I messed up?
No.
I hate this. It's just...
the rule of team leaders
not being able to date people under them
mostly protects women against
the Joshes of the world.
And I can't be selfish.
Even though I really want to be.
I know.
So, what are we gonna tell people
is the reason I'm no
longer on your team?
Well, it's no one's business.
People are gonna talk.
Yeah, well, people are really gonna talk
if they find out we're dating.
Especially Alex and Sam.
I mean, we could tell them.
No. No, we can't. You're right.
And you would get the worst of it.
I'm gonna miss working with you so much.
Especially the late nights in my office.
I'm available for late nights anytime.
And hey, I don't want
you to worry about Evan.
If he ever crossed a line,
which he hasn't and he won't,
trust that I would
shoot it down right away.
I do.
So, I saw your latest Insta post.
Oh! It got over a thousand likes.
Yeah. Okay, I have a question.
Are these body-positive people
really proud of their plus-size selves,
or are they just, you know, pretending
to be to justify overeating
and, you know, just being unhealthy?
We're really proud of our bodies, Mom.
And just because you're plus-size
doesn't mean you're not healthy.
Well, I don't buy that.
- Dennis!
- Hi.
You said he wasn't coming.
Sorry. I'm late.
Oh, good. Come sit.
Let's get you a drink.
Oh, actually, I'm not really
drinking at the moment.
Oh, that's no fun.
- One drink, come on.
- Mom.
What?
He said he's not drinking.
Yeah. I am, however, starving.
Thank you very much.
Ooh, all right.
One of each small plate for the table,
and two orders of those
fried artichokes you love.
Bonnie? Do not tell me
you're just having a salad.
Well, I'm watching my figure.
Well, you're too skinny, if you ask me.
And let's have some of those
sweet potato fries, too.
Thank you.
Hey, y'all.
Oh, hey. Uh, you remember my mother?
- I sure do.
- Hi.
But who's this guy?
Where you been?
Around.
Mm.
Well, I'll have the waiter bring out
an order of those
fried artichokes on me.
I know how much you love them.
Mm.
Hey.
Hey.
How'd it go?
He took the money.
I don't feel great
telling him it was mine,
although it could've been.
No.
You're not putting your
money on the line for my dad.
What if he can't pay you back?
Or what if he needs
money again next month?
Now, I know your savings took
a hit with that eight hundred.
But are you gonna
feel obligated to help?
No, 'cause next month won't be my fault.
Okay.
Just be careful.
He is a grown-ass man.
He has been taking care of himself
long before you were in the picture.
I understand you want a
relationship with him, but...
Yeah, but he doesn't want one with me.
So, don't worry.
Besides, I gotta get right with Dom.
Probably can't do that
with our dad in the picture.
I'm just saying.
If he comes back around,
don't go try fixing his life.
Let him be there for you
and not the other way around.
Okay.
I'm good.
You are still in the doghouse
for not following me back on Instagram.
Oh, I'm not really on
social media these days.
No, no, no. I'm good. I'm good.
Come on, you love these.
Oh. Bonnie?
Help me out with these.
Oh, okay.
Mmm. It's very, very fried.
And delicious.
Mm-hmm.
I love a woman who's not afraid to eat.
Oh, Davia and I were just discussing
the whole body-positive thing.
What do you make of it?
I think it's great to see anyone
proud of the skin they're in.
Oh. But would you ever date a woman
who was plus-size?
Sure.
Have you ever dated anyone
who was over, say, a size two?
I don't really know women's sizes.
Okay, a woman who
couldn't fit in your jeans?
See?
People say they'd do a
lot of things in theory,
but it's what they do in practice
that tells the real truth.
I have to use the restroom.
You never called me either, Dennis.
You know, I was really messed up.
I don't remember
anything from that night.
Well, that's a shame.
'Cause maybe if you did,
you wouldn't be chasing
these little girls around.
You'd remember what it's
like to be with a real woman.
And I can...
always remind you.
I'm at the McCadden Hotel.
Room 605.
Is everything okay?
Yeah. Why wouldn't it be?
Davia.
Go away!
- I said, "Go away".
- Well, if you really wanted me to go away,
- you would've locked the door.
- Oh, don't flatter yourself.
I never lock my door.
I'll go away,
if you tell me who you're
mad at. Me or your mom?
Both. I told you I don't
eat in front of my mother.
And that's messed up. Uh,
you, you should be yourself.
That is not for you to decide.
Or to judge.
Especially when you go around hiding
who you are all the time.
You don't get to tell
me to keep your secrets
and then force me into
some sort of confrontation
with my mother.
I mean, look at me, Dennis.
She knows I actually eat.
I don't want to be
myself around my mother
because it hurts.
I'm sorry.
It's just, I care about you,
and she's got no right to judge.
Oh.
You think I don't know that?
You think I, I don't
wish that she could just...
see me...
and not how I look or what I eat?
She's the most insecure,
self-loathing person I've ever known,
and she's projected
that on me my whole life.
Which is why I became anorexic.
And by the way, you can be too skinny.
Okay, I was 90 pounds.
I had to go into a hospital,
get fed with a tube.
I don't want to tell my mom
what I really think about her,
'cause it will only hurt her.
I don't want to make her feel
how she makes me feel.
Oh, hey.
I am sorry.
I know.
It's okay.
You know, she's bound to overstep again,
not to mention she's entitled.
She's young and
determined to change the world,
the way we all were out of law school.
We could use some wide-eyed
energy around here.
There's a difference between
passion and impertinence.
Jeez, you've got it in for her.
No, I have more cases than I can handle,
and I don't have time to rein in the ego
of a young lawyer who's
got something to prove
because she failed the bar.
Don't worry. She's not your problem.
I'll mentor her.
Like you mentored me?
Let's not go there.
Hey, Evan.
Mariana.
Thanks again for everything.
Of course.
So, I was wondering if you would
like to get a drink with me sometime.
To... talk next steps on the app.
Yeah, sure.
When?
How about now?
Now?
Unless you have plans.
Uh, yeah. Now is great.
Hello?
Hey, hey.
Uh...
I just wanted to let you know, um,
I worked my situation out here. So...
you don't need to worry.
Okay. That's good.
And, um...
look, I'm...
I'm sorry for what I said about...
you coming over and looking me up.
I know it's too late to
be your father, but...
I'd like to be a friend.
This is our dad.
- Hey, man.
- So, this is how you got my back?
- Hey, wait, son.
- Hey, now.
I am not your son.
Yeah, I could always use another friend.
Okay, that's great.
